I recorded a long conversation reflecting on the life and work of Stafford Beer (who would have been 100 this year).

A mobility scooter is the perfect addition to every #SafeAt17 course, allowing our students to take part in impairment activities using Drunk & Drug goggles to give an indication of the experience of being impaired whilst behind the wheel. Find out more: https://t.co/1ZQebR5RGJ

The Somerset Farmhouse of 1 North Street, Williton were approached by a "food influencer" that wanted to charge them £2,000 for a review.

They put out a video of Sally eating a sausage roll instead 😆.

Lets make Sally and the Somerset Farmhouse famous for free.

Interesting afternoon @ucl - students presenting their visions of transport in London in 2070… including transport policy to drive better health, even combined @NHS and @TfL budgets!

Proper “Left Shift” 💡

(Thx @JohnBeckford for the intro 🙏)

Our next Yorkshire #SafeAt17 course runs 6-10th April. Young drivers & their guardians will work together to learn core driving theory, advanced driving appreciation, & safe car control - empowering them to be more aware on the road. #SafeAt17 https://t.co/JrkG4AJJF8

Each #SafeAt17 course includes a braking demonstration. This helps our students visualise "thinking distance plus braking distance" at motorway speeds.
The students (near camera) are at the "thinking" point, with their associates in the distance at the stopping point. #SafeAt17
